Elizabeth Murray Poem
I blink as I stare into your brown eyes,
Sifting through your features to find flowers -
I find a bright flower that never dies
And I could watch it grow in peace for hours.
What will I sacrifice to see this bloom
Into the warm love that I so desire?
I will face the inescapable doom -
You will stand anxiously as I catch fire.
You dispute, cry and protest as we speak
But for your love I will embrace the flame,
I will take in the pain and wither weak
Because I know that you would do the same.
You caress my face with your soft petals
And for this hopeful life I will settle.

Elizabeth Murray Poem
The sun vanishes over the horizon,
Leaving tear drops of light in the sky.
I watch it sink -
Solemnly,
Sadly,
Somberly -
Past the mountains.
Daylight is your face.
I am in the dark now,
Trying to thrive
While you are not here.
Your glow is addicting -
It kisses my skin
And caresses my hair
In bright strokes of light.
When you return to me,
My days are filled
With joy and laughter.
When you leave me,
My nights are lonely and dark.
I wish I could spend
All of my hours
With you, but you leave me
For the other side of the earth
To bring light to other people.
You are my sun,
And I know I am your sun too.
I miss you, my sun.
Please come back to me.
